'Black-ish' debuts season four with a 'Hamilton' homage
Posted on 2 October 2017 - 10:30am
LOS ANGELES: ABC's sitcom-with-a-conscience "black-ish" returns this week, offering its usual brand of social commentary from diverse voices often denied airtime on primetime TV – but this time with a one-off musical twist.
Noted as much for tackling controversial issues like the "N-word," police brutality and President Donald Trump's election as for its on-point jokes, the series has bagged a hatful of awards.
Never happy to rest on his laurels, however, showrunner and creator Kenya Barris is throwing out the usual format for the premiere to the fourth season, which airs Tuesday at 9pm – a new day and time slot.
The episode will be an homage to Broadway smash-hit Hamilton, using music to take potshots at the Columbus Day holiday while also celebrating Juneteenth, the June 19 commemoration of the end of slavery in the United States.
Barris, 43, says it was inspired by a conversation he had with his teenage son, who came home from school revealing that he had learned that Christopher Columbus had never been to North America.
"I looked it up, and he never set foot in North America. His name wasn't Christopher Columbus. He was a war criminal," Barris told reporters on a visit to the Disney Studios lot where the show is filmed in Burbank, California.
"All the war criminal stuff I'd heard before but he didn't discover the world wasn't flat either – all these things that we bought into growing up. I was like, 'Why are we having a holiday for this?' and it started making me think."
Cultural relevancy
"black-ish" follows the trials and tribulations of Andre "Dre" Johnson (Anthony Anderson) and his wife Rainbow (Tracee Ellis Ross) as they try to carve out a stable, healthy home life for their four children.
A successful businessman, Dre worries that the clan is losing touch with its black roots because they are growing up in an affluent, white Los Angeles suburb.
Helped out by his father Pops – played by Laurence Fishburne (Boyz n the Hood, The Matrix) – Dre tries to imbue his family with a sense of cultural identity.
"We were just talking about the number of episodes where we have dealt with stuff that most people would not even begin to think about, whether it's the 'N-word' or God, the election, these police shootings, being biracial," said Fishburne, 56, in a break from filming.
"The fact that we've just touched on all these kinds of things and that they continue to try and find that kind of material is amazing."
The show broke even more ground in Jan when Ross became the first African-American woman to win the Golden Globe for best TV comedy actress since Debbie Allen for Fame in 1982.
Around the same time, "black-ish" delivered its own response to Trump's election win in an episode lauded by critics, elevating the series "to another level of cultural relevancy," according to New York magazine's Vulture website.
Changing the game
Asked if the election had forced a rethink on storylines, Ross said "black-ish" had "never been in response to something" but rather was a show told "from the inside looking out."
"What's happening in our country right now will more change how people look at our show than how we make our show," she added.
Despite the critical plaudits, the show has experienced a steady – but not unusual – decline in audience, from 11 million for the first episode in 2014 to under five million for the season three finale in May.
ABC will be pinning its hopes on the novelty of a musical premiere generating buzz for season four, with the cast describing Tuesday's episode as the most fun ever to film.
"We did really take a step out of what 'black-ish' normally does and change the game for everybody," said Yara Shahidi, who plays the Johnsons' teenage daughter Zoey.
"What was really nice is that it was a learning process for everyone on set."
The 23rd episode of the third season, "Liberal Arts," doubled as a pilot for a spin-off show "grown-ish," featuring Zoey as she goes to college, to debut on ABC's sister network Freeform early next year.
"It's been pretty exciting and scary – but mostly exciting – and we're just figuring out what we're going to cover, what trouble Zoey's going to get into," said Shahidi.
"It's strange that I'm not going to be in this house 24/7." — AFP

Electromagnetic Spectrum What is the Electromagnetic Spectrum? Radio Waves - They have the longest wavelengths (about 30cm and over), but the lowest frequencies.
- Radio stations use modulation, changing the waves' wavelength or frequency, in order to encode information.
- Television also uses radio waves to broadcast, and use both AM and FM signals. AM and FM waves: • AM waves are waves that have had their amplitude changed, or "amplitude modulation"
- AM waves travel further, because they can bounce off of the atmosphere.
• FM waves are waves that have had their frequency changed, or "frequency modulation"
- FM waves have better sound quality than AM waves, because they are less affected by electrical noise. - Radio Detection and ranging (Radar)
• They use microwaves in order to calculate the speed and location of objects.
- They are used by:
• police officers to calculate the speed of cars
• helping ships navigate at night
• watch the movement of airplanes Infrared Waves - Microwaves have shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies than radio waves.
- Microwaves are used to cook food, send information, and send signals to cell phones. - They have shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies than microwaves.
- Almost every object gives off infrared waves, including you, and the sun, and due to the temperature of an object.
- The warmer the objects is, the more infrared waves the object creates than cool objects
- Infrared waves are not visible for human, but some devices can detect infrared waves. Visible Light - Visible light is the very narrow range of wavelengths and frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible for human.
- Visible light from the sun is called the White Light, White Light is visible light of all wavelengths combined. Colors Ultraviolet Light - Ultraviolet light is used to kill bacteria and helping cells produce Vitamin D Bad Effects: X-Rays and Gamma Rays Good Effects: X-Rays -The wavelengths of x- rays are between 0.001 nm and 60 nm, so that can pass through many materials.
- Since it can go through lots of materials it is used in hospitals to take pictures of bones. However, too much eposrue to it can harm you by killing or damaging living cells
-Parts where x-ray exposure is unnescesary is protected by aprons. These aprons are lined with lead because X rays cannot pass through lead. X rays & gamma rays possesses the shortest wavelengths and highest frequencies of all EM waves. Gamma Rays - Gamma rays are one of EM waves that consists of wavelengths shorter than 0.1 nm, making those rays possible to panatrate most materials very easily.
-Doctors uses this rays lots of times to kill cancer cells, but it can have bad side effects since some healthy cells could get killed together.
-Since gamma rays kills bacterias but dosent harm or stays in food making it safe to eat foods cleansed by gamma rays. - The electromagnetic spectrum is the entire range of electromagnetic waves.
- The waves are divided into groups, according to their wave speed.
- The three most common types of electromagnetic waves are radio waves, microwaves, and infrared waves. What is Electromagnetic Spectrum? Microwaves - Too much ultraviolet light causes sun burns.
-Too much ultraviolet light can also cause skin cancer, wrinkles, and damage to the eyes.
-Even though most of the ultraviolet light dosen't reach our surface, it is necessary for people to protect them from ultraviolet light.
- In order to protect you body from ultraviolet light you have to use sunblock creams with high SPF(sun protection factor), wear sunglasses for eye protection and cover much bare skin as possible.
-Even during overcast days you need to protect your skin because UV light can travel through clouds. - Humans can verify which color an object is through the wavelengths of visible lights. The shortest wavelengths are purple, and the longest are red.
- The range of colors is called the "visible spectrum"
- You can use "Roy G. Biv" in order to remember the colors of each visible light. ROY G. BIV stands for: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, Indigo, and violet. Thank You For Watching Game Time!! 1.

Vintage wooden box of play blocks puzzle
by: Cottontails Vintage Toys
Our Price: £30.00
Very old wooden play blocks in a wooden box. I am guessing this might be from the 1950s? It certainly feels very old, with a real faded charm.
These are puzzle blocks, so need to be arranged to create the charming scenes depicted (includes a girl playing with her pets, and a Snow White scene - not sure about the others as the puzzle would have to be played with.)
Contains 30 wooden blocks, each measuring 3.5cm square.
This is clearly very old and the blocks are quite play worn, with knocks and scrapes and faded colours - but really ver charming. The box itself is quite knackered! One hinge missing completely, one hinge doesn't work, so the lid lifts off completely, some splitting to the wood and knocks around the edges. It's very tired.
But never the less, this remains one of my favourites from my vintage toy selection.
Please note this is a single one-off 'found' item - so please don't order more than one!
All our delivery prices are per order, not per item - so please order as much as you like!
- Standard UK delivery £3.50
- UK Next Day Delivery - £8.50
- We regret this item is unsuitable for overseas shipping due to size / weight / delicacy

New artists show their craft during 'Open Studios Tour'
Again this fall, many artists opened their studios to guests to show their art, and, in many cases, demonstrate their technique.
Four of the studios visited by THE BEE were new to the tour this year, and offered visitors insight into the artists and their art.
Kirk Weller
Brooklyn neighborhood
Media: encaustic, oil
When not working in his professional life as physician, neurologist Kirk Weller is a landscape artist, who told THE BEE he'd decided to pursue art when his parents approved of the first painting that he'd brought home from grade school in 1969.
"I'm a Colorado mountain boy who married a Washington gal, and we moved to Oregon," Weller smiled.
About his art, Weller pointed out, "Encaustic [using pigments mixed with hot wax] is not being used in landscapes very much. It's exciting to me, because there are media like tree resins that you can add to the beeswax to create effects that no one else is doing.
"I'm really delighted at how it invokes the texture of a distant landscape, which it's possible to capture with this artistic experimentation."
Wayne Jiang
Woodstock neighborhood
Media: acrylic, drawing, collages
Working from his home in the Woodstock neighborhood, Wayne Jiang – he told us his last name means 'River' in Chinese – loves painting.
"I like the craft of painting, I like the process of painting and I like looking at paintings – that's why I'm a painter!" Jiang exclaimed.
After leaving a high-tech career, Jiang remarked that he was finally able to focus on art, as well as teaching the mountain dulcimer.
"Painting with acrylic is my medium, it's my thing," he said. "A lot of people think it's oil painting, because I use a technique that I developed myself which resembles the work of the 'Old Masters' paintings from the 1600s, such as those by Rembrandt.
"I do lots of thin layers in my process, one atop another, so one sees more coming from below, not just from the top layer," Jiang explained. "When I finish a painting, I feel satisfaction; I've set up a goal, I've gone through the steps; and then when I'm done, I feel satisfied."
Jeannie Fries
Brentwood-Darlington neighborhood
Media: Installation art, oil, sculpture
The artwork of Canadian-born Jeannie Fries lit up our imagination when, as she waved her smart phone near her works, parts of them illuminated.
"My focus now is creating interactive installations, working with electronics that pick up cell phone signals, as when they get text messages or calls, and convert the radio waves into signals that turn on LED lights in some of my panel works," Fries explained. "The idea, and my concepts behind my art, have to do a lot with uncovering the invisible structures that exist around us – with the physical and non-physical expression of power dynamics in contemporary society."
She's proposing a large-scale installation at Portland International Airport where panels above the walkway would illuminate as people are walking underneath through spaces, using their cell phones.
"The idea for that installation just came to me, and I've spent about ten months figuring out how to do it," commented Fries, who studied art in Glasgow, Scotland, as well as in Ankara, and received a BFA and double minor in Philosophy and Art History from Mount Allison University in New Brunswick, Canada.
Kelli MacConnell
Mt. Scott-Arleta neighborhood
Media: Printmaking
Printmaker Kelly McConnell turned her home's basement into an art studio workshop, but said she started out in the art world as a drawing/painting major at Portland State University.
"In my junior year, I took an 'Introduction to Printmaking' class, fell in love with the process, and learned about relief printmaking – and, I've been hooked on it ever since," McConnell grinned.
Eight years later, her primary focus continues to be on linocut, but she also carves woodcuts as well.
"I sketch an image on a block of linoleum, and then I carve out to the areas that I want to be white – we call that 'negative space'," informed McConnell. "Then I roll printing ink onto the block, lay paper on top of it, and use a press to print limited editions of my blocks.
"It's physical, hands-on art, but it can turn out to be so delicate and beautiful," McConnell marveled.

It is the tactile nature of basketry that inspires Kristen to continue learning and teaching basketry - and the practical side of her loves to create functional art that can be used and admired. Basket weaving is about creating something with your hands; there is a sense of satisfaction gained from looking at the finished product and saying, "I made that."
Kristen has over 20 years of experience working with fibre, whether it be knitting, weaving or basketry. Kristen's professional career is outside of the studio; to the classroom she brings with her years of experience teaching adults, a passion for learning and a love of creating.
We inspire the artist in everyone.

Dear Friend,
I am excited about your interest in pursuing information about full time opportunities with Athletes In Action. As you are probably aware, sports provide an incredible platform to take the life-changing message of the Gospel throughout the world. We are honored that you would consider being a part of the AIA team!
Like all of us, you will face an ever-increasing number of decisions in your life. Life is essentially a series of decisions that we each must make. Over time these decisions chart a course for our lives and eventually comprise our enduring legacy. It is critical for you to choose the right reference point in order to make consistently wise decisions. The reference point that we have always tried to use personally is our relationship with God. God is the foundation from which we have found all "good" decisions rest upon.
In one sense, this beginning point is really the hardest decision you will have to make. Will you trust yourself and what you can discern and achieve (despite your obvious limitations)? Or, will you trust God for all that He has for you, with His infinite love for you and His unending wisdom (Mark 8:34-38)?
I will be praying that God directs your steps as you consider the important decisions that lie ahead! Here are a few principles that may help you as you prayerfully consider God's future direction for your life:
This is not a mysterious answer taken out of context but an attempt to view the decision through the lens of scripture. It may be helpful to write down some verses that help you think biblically about your decision.
Again, there is a danger that I may misrepresent my thoughts for the Spirit's prompting, so I never act solely on this basis. But, I do pay attention to it, for this is where we enjoy the intimacy of our relationship with God. (I Samuel 23:1-4)
There are three kinds of counselors that I seek:
Those who know me and can help me understand myself.
Those who know the situation and can give me valuable insight into what will be involved in the decision.
Those who know God and will allow me to share the issues and provide me with Godly prospective. (Prov. 15:22)
On the surface, I will have many different wants. But as I dig down, I find out what is really important to me. As we delight ourselves in the Lord (Ps 37:4), His desires become our desires.
Here I normally write out the pros and cons of each action. Then I ask, "Which of these factors are most important?" (Prov. 14:8, 15).
It really makes sense to evaluate decisions we must make using the aforementioned principles when we remember and embrace the character of God! We serve a God who is all knowing, (thus knows what is best for us), all-loving (wants what is best for us) and all-powerful (able to lead us into what is best for us).
When we remember who God is, then it is much easier to trust him with all of our heart and follow His leading! That is my prayer for you as you begin the next chapter of your life. I look forward to hearing how God leads!
Laboring Together,
Mark Householder
Athletes in Action President

A Thrifted Quilt Top, Quilted
A superfluously wonderful thrift shop find: this quilt top in perfect condition, hand-pieced. Last week I put it together with a back and the batting and machine-quilted it in an afternoon.
*Such* a satisfying project! I love the mad colors--the black, the fuschia, the deep yellow. Someone had a flashy scrap box!
It's not random, and I'm sure it has a name, being made of concentric diamonds working outwards from the center.

|[IMP] Support for servlet has been removed
|Wed, 09 Apr 2003 06:59:06 GMT
Hi, I just found out that someone has removed the servlet support from the http environment/object model. Until recently, the object model contained (in the case of the http environment) the original http response and request object. This has disappeared somehow! Please correct this as this breaks several components (stream, jsp or html generator for example)! We should try to make 2.1 as compatible to 2.0.x and removing those things (even if they are hacky) will make upgrading very hard. (I have currently no access to cvs so I can't fix this.)

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Graduate Degrees in Psychology and other Psychology Degree topics.
Although (usually) formal licensing isn't offered through a counseling Masters degree, recipients still receive a specialized education that focuses on higher-level positions and skills in the human services field. Folks with prior undergraduate degrees in sociology, psychology, counseling theory or similar areas might find this further line of study exciting should they prefer a non-clinical program with a focus on managerial aspirations.
Course work will vary depending on the post secondary institution and counseling Masters degree, but most programs offer classes that cover specialized topics in ethics, regulatory requirements, therapeutic services, counseling theory, intervention strategies, various therapy techniques, methods of providing services (i.e. group, individual), assessment, and consultation.
Some counseling graduate programs also offer specialties for the learner to zero in on, such as:
- The Adler School of Professional Psychology's counseling Masters degree emphasizes a "socially responsible practice", yet their Masters in Counseling and Organizational Psychology program pinpoints professionals looking to expand their skills in areas such as team building and regulative business management.
- Lesley University's Masters degree in Counseling Psychology centers on their commitment to "interventions and consultation skills with children and adults in community settings."
The average time to complete a counseling graduate program is 24 months, although some institutions require up to four years of study.

Responses (2)
You should ask your doctor before having sex after this surgery! I had this surgery done 4 different times when I was younger and I had to wait 4 to 6 weeks after surgery. Have you seen your doctor for your post-op exam yet? If not then I would wait until you do, or call your doctor and ask when it is safe. But take it from me, you don't want to have sex too soon after this surgery , it can land you back in the hospital, especially since you are saying that you have "hardly any pain", which tells me that you are still having some pain.
Please just wait till you see or talk to the doctor who did the surgery to be on the safe side, sex can wait.

What people think...
Thank you so much for the beautiful bespoke canvas you made for us. Our son's tender words are now forever hung up on our wall and when he is a stroppy teenager I am sure I will look at them often to remember the good ol' days. Your attention to detail is second to none and I appreciate you sending me samples of lots of different colours to find just the right shade of blue. I highly recommend your artwork to all my friends. Thank you again.
Having spent some time looking for a unique gift from a friend of mine who had twins girls I came across Henry, Fred and Felicity at a local craft fair. After being impressed by the both the quality and design of their work I spoke with Fay who shared some great ideas on what she could create for the occasion. The final product was a beautiful canvas which was so warmly received by the new Mum and Dad. It now takes price of place in the girls nursery. A far superior gift that something from the high street.

Situated on the Comstock Lode, Virginia City sprang into being in 1859 withthe discovery of gold. It was also the first major silver discovery in the United States. The town appeared virtually overnight and grew to a high of 15,000 residents. As with many boomtowns of that era, Virginia City...Jump to full entry

Jul 19, 2013 - A City of Gold and Silver
Today I took the train, the Virginia & Truckee Railroad, up to Virginia City. The ride takes about an hour and a half to cover maybe 20 miles which averages about 14 miles per hour up the mountain to the head of Six-mile Canyon where Virginia City is located. The ride up was hot, but not as bad as the ride down later in the afternoon after walking the streets of Virginia City. A little of the history of Virginia City is in order.

Jul 25, 2012 - Virginia City - An old mining town
Do you realize just how beautiful and diverse our country is? We left this morning and passed through some absolutely gorgeous land (and a couple of old mining towns) on our way to Virginia City, one of the best known mining towns in the west. Boy, San Francisco has nothing on this town when it comes to being built on a hill! You sure wouldn't want to have a guest step out of your back door here because he wouldn't stop falling/rolling for quite awhile!

New York School Injuries and School Liability
Frank J. Dito, Jr.
Comments (0)
Between school sports, bullies and playground equipment there are plenty of ways that children can get injured while in school which is why schools are required to make sure children are properly watched over while they are at school especially while they are outside of the classroom such as when they are on recess or playing extra-curricular activities after school. When schools fail to properly supervise children while they are on school property or after school hours they are held liable for the injuries that the student sustains.
There are many ways that children can get injured during school but two of the most common injuries that occur to school students are:
- Playground related injuries - Children, especially young children, are allowed to go outside for a break or recess to allow children to run around, exercise and burn off some energy. While this is a great idea for children it is important that the teacher and teacher assistants assigned to the students keeps a close eye on them. Usually schools have a certain number of students assigned to each teacher especially for children in elementary school. Schools assign a certain number of students to each teacher to make sure the teacher is able to watch the children and make sure that they are not doing anything that can cause injury to the child. The most dangerous and most common school injuries usually occur on monkey bars. A child who is not properly supervised by a teacher on playground equipment is put at risk of injury and if anything is to happen to the child and the teacher is not paying attention the school is held liable. A recent study actually showed that 40% of school playground injuries are caused by lack of supervision. Disturbingly, the study also showed that children are more likely to be supervised if they are at a playground or park off of school property. Also, if the playground equipment injures your child because the playground equipment is old, rusty or broken it can cause serious injuries to the child. If a student is injured and the school is not in compliance with the US Consumer Product Safety Commission and the American Society for Testing and Materials it is also considered a liability of the school.
- Sports-related injuries - School sports are a great thing for children to be involved in it offers exercises, allows children to understand team work and competition but sometimes coaches and schools fail to follow important guidelines that often result in injury to the student while they are playing sports. One of the most common injuries that occur during school sports are knee injuries and perhaps one of the most dangerous injuries that occur are injuries to the spinal cord which account for nearly 75% of school related spinal cord injuries. Injuries occur during games, during practice, in the gymnasium and out on the field and are not uncommon but sometimes they can be prevented. When schools fail to provide or enforce the proper rules such as the use of protective gear, if allow children to play on defective playing surfaces, make children do exercises or drills that are inappropriate for their age group, over-exert student or incorrectly match up the abilities or weight classes of students playing sports.
Some examples of a school being liable for a child's sport injury are:
- if a student who is 112 lbs is matched up with a student who is 135 lbs in a wrestling match).
- if students are not provided with protective gear (helmets, pads, etc.) during practice
- if a schools gymnasium has a dangerous crack in the floor and a child trips over the crack and falls during a basketball game or practice.

Pick out the largest and healthiest newts you can find (and ignore the people who flip them over and make big, glaring eyes at them as if they had X-ray vision). Observe them closely for at least a few minutes in order to choose a healthy pet properly, and remember that activeness does not always indicate good health. Most newts are not overly active in nature, and prefer instead to rest on plants or hide under logs. Yes, much like tired dogs on a hot day.
If the newts you see are thin or appear weak, it might mean that the poor fellows are not properly nourished or that they have a disease. If they have difficulty swimming and sumberging properly, this could point to diseases like bloat, which are very difficult to cure, so it's best not to choose these. Sorry, Bubba.
Also remember never to mix different species of newts together because they have different personalities. While it's not as bad as introducing the Terminator to Pee Wee Herman, let's just say that there could be 'issues'.

TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - September 08, 2016) - On Wednesday, September 28, 2016, at 10am EDT (3pm BST/UK), Xtalks will host a complimentary webinar featuring Sabina Paglialunga, Metabolic and Pharmacodynamic Specialist and Rafiq Islam, Senior Director of Bioanalytical Services both from Celerion, as the keynote speakers.
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) / Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) has been pronounced the next major health epidemic. This declaration is, in part, due to the lack of medicinal therapies to treat or manage NAFLD/NASH. To address this unmet need, the pharmaceutical and biotech industries have geared up for an epic race to the market. As a new drug target indication, little regulatory guidance is available. However, looking to the leaders of the pack, valuable insight into study design, choice of patient population and adverse events experienced by subjects can be surmised. This webinar will describe non-invasive approaches to facilitate early phase NAFLD/NASH clinical studies.
Key learning objectives:
NAFLD is an umbrella term describing excessive hepatic fat accumulation not associated with alcohol intake or viral infection. NAFLD is a chronic disease that ranges from simple steatosis (fatty liver) to NASH to advanced cirrhosis. NASH is a severe form of NAFLD often characterized by hepatic inflammation and fibrosis. Cirrhosis results from extensive fibrosis and can be causal for end-stage liver failure. The current landscape of NAFLD/NASH drug development programs includes an assortment of anti-steatotisis and anti-fibrotic agents. The merits and limitations associated with these different drug development strategies will be addressed.
Liver biopsy is the gold standard for clinical diagnosis of NASH as well as evaluation of a treatment response. Liver biopsies are invasive procedures, biased by sampling error and reader interpretation. A grated system, the NAFLD Activity Score (NAS) was developed to regulate this process among liver centers. Although NAS is independent of fibrogenesis, a fibrosis rating is also essential for clinical research studies. Biopsy-related outcomes for NAFLD/NASH clinical studies include the resolution of NASH without worsening fibrosis. An updated definition of NASH resolution has been recently implemented for all on-going and future NAFLD/NASH studies and how this revised definition will impact clinical studies will be discussed.
Measurements of lipid metabolism can be readily applied to proof-of-concept studies. Integrating indirect calorimetry, de novo lipogenesis or glucose/mixed meal tolerance tests measurements into an early phase study can provide essential information regarding treatment effects on fat oxidation, lipid synthesis and insulin sensitivity. In addition, a number of non-invasive approaches to assess liver fat content and fibrosis have been developed and validated against the gold standard to expedite clinical research. Advantages and disadvantages of non-invasive modalities such as ultrasound, elastography and magnetic resonance will be outlined. Incorporation of these techniques in both early and late phase clinical studies can be a valuable pharmacodynamic tool to evaluate drug efficacy.
Soluble biomarkers can also be utilized to provide robust results in a cost-effective and non-invasive manner. The soluble biomarkers can be used to track disease progression as well as therapeutic outcomes over shorter periods, with the opportunity to assess response to therapeutic treatment earlier in clinical research. The soluble biomarkers that are relevant to NAFLD/NASH can be divided into four biological pathways: oxidative stress, inflammation, hepatocyte apoptosis, and fibrosis. The panels of biomarkers from each of the pathways and the associated analytical methods will be discussed.
Although the NAFLD/NASH race to the market is well underway, a number of challenges face drug development programs; biopsy requirements, lack of validated surrogate biomarkers, and no clear regulatory guidelines. Overcoming these obstacles will not only benefit the pharmaceutical and biotech industry to bring new therapies to market, but will ensure that the millions of NAFLD/NASH patients are treated or cured of this chronic liver disease.

Ed Sheeran's 'Nancy Mulligan' is Another Song About His Grandparents On New Album 'Divide' - Listen Here!
We know that you're all loving Ed Sheeran's brand new album, Divide, just like us, and we know that you are crying over "Supermarket Flowers" like you should.
But, did you know there's another song about Ed's grandparents on the album? It's called "Nancy Mulligan".
"It's about my grand and my grandfather actually," Ed revealed. "One was Protestant and from Belfast and one was Catholic from southern Ireland."
He continued about their love story, "They got engaged and no one turned up to the wedding. He melted all his gold teeth in his dental surgery and melted them down into a wedding ring. They wore borrowed clothes to get married and had this sort of Romeo and Juliet romance which is like the most romantic thing."
"I thought I'd write a song about it and make it a jig."
Listen below!
FYI: Ed is also pictured below performing for BBC's One Show.

Are you giving something away or are you charging for it?
A gift is profoundly different from a professional service.
We can't confuse one with the other.
Kudos for one is very different from another.
Sustainability for one is very different from another.
There are too many people giving away too much time and talent rather than charging for it.
There are too many people charging too much for time and talent rather than giving it for free.
But which is which?
Is extraordinary customer satisfaction in the gift economy or the real economy?
Is caring for children and family in the gift economy or the real economy?
Are student unpaid internships opportunities or exploitation?
We are in a time of flux and most people are trying to re-organise their values, downsizing, upcycling, shapeshifting to a happier time when you work to live, not live to work.
Children want parents who are present not zombies who are the waking dead, families want to see each other and share their time without the ever present din and distraction of mobile phones and other tech apparatus interfering...we yearn for more time, more freedom yet we buy more stuff to distract us and make the debt mountain higher...demanding more time spent earning it and it goes on and on...
So it seems to me if you are thinking about giving time and talent away then you should be thinking about why you are doing that? What's in it for you? Here are a few questions worth considering:
1 What's the exchange - giving time to care for your children is a pleasure, a duty and ultimately gives you a clear conscience later on that you have given them enough to happily make their way in the world independently. Volunteering in a community organisation gives you the chance to meet new people, do things you would never get the chance to do otherwise, a sense of security that you are making a difference and self satisfaction. Unpaid overtime gives you a sense of completion, allows you to spend the right amount of time on something, gives you control over your workload, a sense of loyalty?
2 How long will this go on for? - 1 month, 3 months, until you get bored, until you have achieved some specific outcome, forever?
3 What do you expect emotionally - respect, challenge, creative outlet, peace of mind, fun, excitement, love?
4 Where could you achieve these same outcomes as a paid for activity? Who would pay you to do what you are currently doing for free?
5 How could you transfer some of these new skills to paid for services? How could you work in new ways, make new connections, deliver different value with these talents and expertise?
6 What would you have to give up if you got paid for the work? Freedom, control, self esteem?
Now decide to re-evaluate your gifting on a regular basis and change according to circumstances. The new world won't be as clear cut as the old world - in any way shape or form...we will have to renegotiate everything including our relationship with money and work.
The only thing that's really important is clarity. Think clearly.

Clintons Cards, which has been the British High Street favorite since 1968 for cards and gifts, and its associated company, Birthdays, are to be put into administration, sadly.
This move comes after the American financiers who bought an equity stake in this Stock Exchange quoted company from RBS and Barclays called in their loans, to the tune of £37 million. And Clinton Cards and Birthdays just don't have that sort of cash flow, despite the combined 800 branches across England.
As the two companies go into Administration, there is the bleak prospect of 8,000 staff losing jobs. The British High Street just ain't what it used to be, not with the zooming of the Internet, when online buying or reduced spending due to job losses and budget cuts have decimated the bricks-and-mortar stores into vacant semi ghost-towns.
I hope something can be salvaged, so that people keep their jobs and the two companies who have a welcoming presence on the High Streets, can be saved, perhaps by revamping and changing the product mix. It can be done, I believe.
Just like the Barnes and Noble bookstores in America have seen fresh light once again with the introduction of Microsoft products in this new Digital Economy, I believe there must be a product mix that would be suitable for Clinton Cards and Birthdays. I can visualize something, so if the American owners wish to sound me out on this, I would welcome contact from them. Just like many years ago Asa Candler brought the Coco Cola formula in a kettle to the drug store, I think I may have something in the way of an inspired idea. So, please, gentlemen, contact me.
Kind regards,
Durudarshan - Investment Analysis and Management.

Dulce de Leche was all the rage years ago – and I can see why. Rich caramelly goodness, here spread on top of cheesecake bars. Cheesecake and Dulce de Leche? Yes, please! Finished with a sprinkle of Fleur de Sel? Umhmm!
These bars have long been on my list of to make, ever since I saw them in Bon Appetit years ago. They're a fun, easier to make (no special pan needed) cheesecake option. I wish I would have made them years ago – all that wasted time, lol! Don't forget the Fleur de Sel at the end – it takes the bars from dull to sparkling in flavor.
When I baked the cheesecake base, it seemed a bit strange – it puffed up alarmingly in the center. I just left it in the oven until the center felt a little firm to the touch. They were nicely golden brown throughout the top, something I'm not used to seeing when I make cheesecake but out of the oven they settled into a nice, even, flat layer. So just soldier through and trust the recipe.
Remember that cream cheese keeps for weeks in the fridge and can be frozen – I stock up when I see it on holiday sales, usually about 1/2 price. Graham cracker crumbs are less expensive if you make your own and if you're near a Mexican market, Dulce de Leche is very reasonable in price, if not, make your own. It's super easy in the crockpot. It just takes time.
Dulce de Leche Cheesecake Bars
- Nonstick spray
- 2 1/4 cups finely ground graham crackers (from about 17)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 10 tablespoons melted butter (1 1/4 sticks)
Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat 13 x 9 x 2-inch metal baking pan (a glass pan works fine) with nonstick spray. (Line pan if desired, with foil and then spray the foil for easier removal.)
Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and cinnamon in medium bowl. Add melted butter; stir until coated. Transfer crumb mixture to pan. Press evenly onto bottom of pan. Bake until crust is light golden, about 10 minutes. Cool completely on rack.
- 3 eight ounce packages cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1/2 cup Dulce de Leche (store-bought or home-made) at room temperature (you'll use the remainder for the topping)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Blend cream cheese and sugar in processor (recipe works fine made with a mixer) until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute, stopping occasionally to scrape down sides of bowl. Add dulce de leche and blend until incorporated.
Add eggs 1 at a time, processing 3 to 5 seconds to blend between additions. Add vanilla, process until blended, about 10 seconds.
Dollop batter across cooled crust and nudge and spread into an even layer. Bake until just set in center and edges are puffed and slightly cracked, about 38 minutes. Check the center, although puffed, it should feel slightly firm to the touch. Transfer to rack; cool completely.
Topping & Finishing:
- about 2/3 cup Dulce de Leche (this was remainder of can)
- 3 or more tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- Fleur de Sel
Mix dulce de leche and 3 tablespoons cream in microwave-safe bowl (cream may not totally mix in) and microwave for 10 seconds. Gently stir. Continue to microwave in 10-second intervals until melted.
Stir to blend, adding more cream by teaspoonfuls if too thick to pour (amount of cream needed will depend on brand of dulce de leche).
Pour over cooled cheesecake; spread evenly. Refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour. This topping will not be firm.
Cut cheesecake lengthwise into 4 strips, then crosswise into 6 strips, forming 24 bars. Sprinkle bars with fleur de sel right before serving.
Note: The topping seems to always have a few small lumps which are hardly noticeable when the bars are cut. You may wish to cut ahead if looks matter.

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – On Sunday, May 28th, Rio's Flamengo and Botafogo both saw action in Round Three of the Campeonato Brasileiro (Brasileirão) Série A, with the Rubro-Negra drawing 1-1 with Atlético-PR, while Botafogo bested Bahia, 1-0.
In the first game, Flamengo traveled to Curitiba to face off against Atlético-PR in Arena da Baixada. The home team started strong with several chances deep within Flamengo's goal area but were unable to come away with any points. Flamengo would have few scoring chances in the first period, but what they did have they would make count.
At the 24 minute mark, the Rubro-Negra's Argentine export, Federico Mancuello got past several Atlético-PR defenders and would open the scoring off a header from a beautiful long-range pass from Pará.
Flamengo would take the 1-0 lead into halftime. But, the lead would be short-lived. Ten minutes into the period, off a twisting corner kick, Atlético-PR defender Thiago Heleno, headed the ball into the feet of Flamengo keeper Muralha. The ball took a tricky bounce and snuck past Muralha to tie the game 1-1.
Both teams would miss chances to take the lead in the second period, and the game would end in the 1-1 draw.
The draw puts Flamengo in ninth place in the standings with five points, while Atletico-PR is near the bottom of the leaderboard with one point after three rounds.
In the later game, Botafogo and Bahia both came to Nílton Santos Stadium counterattacking, and for most of the first half, the teams canceled each other out.
In the closing moments of the half, Botafogo defender Bruno Silva made a spectacular steal close to Bahia's goal area. Pimpão received the ball and passed it back to Silva who easily lofted the ball over the helpless Bahia keeper.
In the second period, Bahia had several great opportunities to tie the game. But a clutch performance from Botafogo keeper Gatito Fernandez kept Bahia off the scoreboard and secured the 1-0 shutout for the home team.
With the victory, Botafogo finishes the third round of the Brasileirão with six points and in seventh place. Meanwhile, Bahia has three points and is in thirteenth place in the standings.
The Brasileirão features Brazil's top twenty teams competing in 38 rounds of games until a champion is crowned in December. The G4 (top four) teams in the final season's standings automatically qualify for next year's Copa Libertadores tournament.

"Teaching has been a passion of mine for years, and I believe it is truly my vocation in life to aid my students in their academic, spiritual, and social and emotional growth. It is the little moments in the classroom, such as a student finding a new favorite book, or learning how to multiply by 9s, that inspire me every day, and keep me coming back for more. When I'm not teaching, I love running or hiking outside and spending time in the mountains with my family."
Mission Statement: In the tradition of Catholic Education, Mary Star of the Sea Elementary School promotes the growth of faith in Christ, academic excellence, and civic responsibility. As a small community, together with parents, faculty, and staff, it is our goal to develop these values in each student.

** READERS CHOICE ** THE HAMILTON in WASHINGTON, DC
I had the pleasure of trying the Chicken Wings with Mumbo Sauce and the Lobster Roll! They were delish and flavorful! The Hamilton Cosmo was so delish and refreshing, it had a cranberry puree inside the glass as a swirl. It was quite a tasty cocktail to sip on! Prices were reasonable, the wings were about $11 – $13, the lobster roll was about $13 and the Cosmo was about $11. Customer Service was great. And it's 24hrs.

There is a true story of a 4 year old Irish child by the name of Nellie Organ, when Nellie's mother died, her father William was not able to care for his four children; two of her girls were given to the care of the Good Shepherd Sisters, in Cork, and the two boys were sent to another home. Nellie was suffering from whooping cough, spinal injuries because a child minder had dropped her when she was a baby, tuberculosis and a rotting disease of the gums and jaws.
A Jesuit, Fr Bury was one day giving a retreat at the Good Shepherd convent and was visiting Nellie's bedside each day. He was amazed at Nellie's deep devotion to the Eucharist. When he asked Nellie, "What is Holy Communion?" She answered, "It is Holy God." "And what would happen if you were to receive Holy Communion?" Nellie said, "Jesus will rest on my tongue and then He will go down into my heart."
One night, when the Mother Francis, the Superior of the convent was wishing Nellie good night, Nellie asked her if she would bring her Holy Communion the next day. The Mother Superior said "yes", but misunderstood Nellie and visited her the next morning without Holy Communion; Nellie was devastated. Nellie then asked people to come to her bedside immediately after they had received Holy Communion, and then they could return to the chapel to finish their Thanksgiving prayers. To Nellie, that was the closest she could get to receiving Jesus in Holy Communion.
Fr Bury was convinced that Nellie, even though she was only four years and three months of age had met all the criteria necessary to receive her first Holy Communion, even though at that time, the children had to be twelve years old before they could receive Holy Communion. Fr Bury appealed to the Bishop of Cork for Nellie; he agreed. Fr Bury then heard her Confession and gave her First Holy Communion in the convent chapel.
Mother Francis, the Superior, said "At the moment of receiving Holy Communion, Nellie's face shone as if the presence of the great light in her heart reflected itself in her face. This was seen also in Nellie's other Holy Communions; that her countenance was deeply recollected; her attitude very pious; and her appearance extraordinarily radiant." It is said that Nellie's Thanksgiving for receiving Holy Communion would continue till late in the afternoon. From the day of her Frist Holy Communion the foul smell caused by the rotting of her gums and jaws ceased. Two months later, Nellie died and was buried at the St Joseph's Cemetery in Cork. Eighteen months after her death, permission was granted to have Nellie's remains transferred to the Good Shepherd Convent Cemetery. Upon opening her grave, Nellie's body was found to be incorrupt. Her body was fresh with no sign of the wasting disease she had at her death.
If Nellie's witness and the miracleof her incorrupt body are still not good enough for those of us who are very intellectual about our faith, then perhaps this illustration from NASA might help. NASA did some experimenting with a special type of camera that could see the energy levels in the human body. This is then seen on a monitor. This energy shows up as an aura around the body. NASA's interest in the experiment was to investigate the effects of space travel on astronauts in orbit. Experimenting in a hospital they discovered that when a person is dying, the aura around the body is thinner and gets thinner and thinner until the person dies.
The scientist was carrying out this investigation in the hospital with his associate behind a two-way mirror. While observing what was happening, they were suddenly surprised to see with their camera a man coming into the room with light coming from his pocket. When the man then took out the object from his pocket, the whole room was filled with such a bright light that the camera could no longer film what was happening. Both scientists ran to the room to see what was causing so much light to appear in their camera. They discovered that the dying man was being given Holy Communion. After the Holy Communion, it could be seen in the camera that the dying man's aura around him was brighter. Even though the scientist conducting the experiment was in his fifties, he decided to become a priest after witnessing that.
My brothers and sister in Christ, what do we make out of these true stories of Nellie and the NASA experiment and the "conversion" of the scientist? Today's Gospel on the Eucharist, the Real Presence of Jesus, the real flesh and blood of Jesus in the bread and wine that we receive is an easy, but very challenging topic to preach on. Why? It's easy because all of us here believe that when we receive Holy Communion at Mass, we are actually receiving the real flesh and real blood of Jesus as He proclaimed in the Gospel of John that we just heard. Yet, it is very challenging to preach on this topic because our external behaviour and attitude are very often discordant and seem to cast doubts as to whether we really value this divine gift of Jesus Himself to us in the Eucharist?!
Is it any wonder that we need to remind ourselves, and all the Catholics around the world to please be reverent during the Eucharist? Are we surprised to hear pulpit announcements and bulletin notices to: please do not distract others during the Eucharist, to please dress appropriately when we come for the Eucharist, to please to do not come late and rush off during the Eucharist, to please bring your child out of the Church when they are distracting others, to please participate actively and attentively during the Eucharist, to please do not applause at the end of the Eucharist as though it is a performance, to please do not double park and don't quarrel with our Traffic Assistants immediately after Mass in the car park, to please come for the Eucharistic Adoration for children, to please spend time in our Adoration room to be with the Lord . . . please this and please that . . .
Are such reminders unreasonable in helping us value Jesus in the Eucharist more fully? If Nellie were to hear all these announcements and read all our parish bulletin notices, I think her heart would be torn and she would be weeping and praying for those of us who are still taking Jesus in the Eucharist for granted; and for parents who still think that if there are piano lessons, or tuition or examinations coming up, then there is no need to come for Mass . . . and the like.
In spite of having highlighted all these challenges that we are facing, I would like to add that it is a blessing that most of us still value the Eucharist sufficiently enough, but evidently we all need to continue to challenge ourselves to value Jesus in the Eucharist more fully and more reverently, and we cannot deny that there is still a lot room for improvement . . .
Fr Philip Heng,S.J.
